Satellite transmission serving radio and television

Satellite transmission links established as part of the Symphonie utilization program must meet certain specifications from the radio broadcaster's point of view. It is not sufficient that a transmission link exists, it also has to be readily available for reasons of expediency. In addition, a transmission link must provide the best possible signal quality. These requirements apply equally to radio and television. Intercontinental TV transmissions, for example, are only possible by satellite transmission. The transmission of radio programs to Kigali, Rwanda, radio transmitted reports from the Himalayas and TV equipments with the Ivory Coast, Iran, Egypt, China and Guadeloupe are some of the best examples of operatons of this kind within the Symphonie program.
